Deray Mathis Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Miami had to settle for second even though Deray Mathis put up the best numbers he has all season. Mathis picked up 176 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Miami's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 3-4 when he doesn't).

Aiden Alder Has Career Rushing Day
